When he was young, after the food table was put on the table, Emperor Liu Qi personally invited the white-bodied Lu Su to sit across from him and eat with him.

The two people so close to each other couldn't help but feel a bit close to each other at this moment, at least they felt much closer than before.

After the wine lord was brought up by the attendant, Liu Qi poured the wine for Lu Su with his own hands. Lu Su was shocked and hurriedly stood up and saluted again.

"Okay, don't be so polite. It's just a glass of wine. If you are always so polite, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the meal until dark today."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After the two had a drink, Liu Qi gently tapped the edge of the table with his hand, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

Lu Su was not in a hurry to urge him, or rather he did not dare to urge him, and just waited quietly for Liu Qi to say something.

When I was young, I heard Liu Qi think about it and said slowly: "In the past, the Han Dynasty was in danger and the jackals were in power. At this time when clouds were everywhere, I inherited the late emperor's order and wiped out Jingxiang, Sili, Bashu, Jianghuai and Liangzhou.

In this land, all the great heroes have been destroyed, but Yuan Cao still survives, and Zijingyuan came here from Jianghuai to serve the imperial court. I would like to ask, is there any good strategy to help me pacify the world?"

Liu Qi got straight to the point, and Lu Su was not one to be shy. He raised his hands and asked Liu Qi, "May I ask, Your Majesty, if you want to be the Great Patriarch or the Wen Dynasty, how do you think about it?"

Lu Su's question surprised Liu Qi.

Why is this guy so stupid? He speaks so straightforwardly?

Since Lu Su was so direct, Liu Qi also directly replied, "Gaozu, Huan Wen is my wish."

Lu Su came with sincerity, and Liu Qi responded with sincerity.

To be honest, he really wanted to become an emperor who could surpass all the sages of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Su seemed to have expected Liu Qi to say this.

He then bowed his hands and bowed to Liu Qi, saying: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have cleared away the constraints of the imperial court and your reputation has become world-famous. The people in the southern border are prosperous, especially the new policy of suppressing western rice and selling farmers into acres. It can be said that it is unprecedented, and the people of the world are harmonious."

The head of Guizhou is all grateful to Your Majesty. Now, because of Your Majesty's new policy, the population in various places is increasing. I can't imagine that in a generation, our Han Dynasty will surely be prosperous. By then, we will be able to cultivate both internally and externally, pacify the Western Regions to the west, surrender to the Xianbei Northern Territory to the north, and conquer the Northern Territory of Xianbei to the north.

Cultivate virtuous government and make people's lives prosperous, so as to promote the power of our great Han Dynasty."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "What I long for in my lifetime is for my great man to be able to have the appearance that all nations can come to court."

This sentence "all nations come to court" directly hit Lu Su's heart.

He cupped his fists towards Liu Qi and said to him: "Your Majesty is really broad-minded and lofty in his ambitions. Just these words of 'all nations come to court' can fully demonstrate your Majesty's broad-mindedness and awe."

"Then according to Zijing, if I want to realize this wish, what else do I need to do now?"

Lu Su cupped his hands and said: "Everyone knows what your Majesty is going to do... Naturally, it is to destroy Yuan Cao! As long as Yuan Cao is not destroyed, Your Majesty will not be able to let go of his hands and feet to the outside world. In this prosperous age when all nations come to court, I am afraid that

It cannot be achieved in one day.”

Liu Qi smashed his mouth, raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying: "What I am doing now is to find a way to kill Cao Yuan?"

Lu Su shook his head and said: "It's just that your Majesty's method of destruction is too standard and has no momentum to move forward. I'm afraid time will drag on longer and longer. Of course, according to Lu Su, longer time is not a bad thing... because of time

The longer it goes, the more favorable the situation will become to His Majesty."

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Zijing mean by this?"

Lu Su cupped his hands and said: "In fact, according to Su's idea, whether your Majesty wants to be Emperor Gaozu or Wen Jing, the best way to deal with Yuan Cao is the same as the current method. But Your Majesty wants to kill Emperor Gaozu."

He Wen and Jing are both Chao, so I am afraid that the current use of troops is a bit slow... According to Lu Su, His Majesty's advance is actually because Zhang Yan was attacked by Yuan Shao. His Majesty seemed to be marching in a large scale, but in fact he has not yet

Gather all your strength to fight Yuan Shao and Cao Cao."

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this and said: "In today's world, it seems that I am evenly matched with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that I have great strength in terms of national strength, military strength, generals, counselors, including food, grass, weapons, and strategic depth.

Far more than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, especially now that Yuan Shao is ill, he is in a hurry for a decisive battle, but I am not in a hurry for a decisive battle. The longer the time, the more beneficial it is to me."

Lu Su said: "Your Majesty's words are very basic to the art of war, but your Majesty can think about it. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can actually guess your Majesty's thoughts. Although Hebei's strength is not as strong as your Majesty, with the wisdom of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they will definitely be more powerful."

He made arrangements in an effort to slow down your majesty's unification... The method Yuan Shao used to appease the prominent families in Hebei by abolishing the elders and establishing young ones was actually, to a certain extent, detrimental to your majesty's great cause of unification."

Liu Qi frowned and began to lower his head in thought.

"I have always known your Majesty's style of conduct, but your Majesty is taking every step to deal with Yuan Cao. Although he can be invincible, the other party will make adjustments from time to time according to the situation. If your Majesty is united,

If you are a big man, there is no problem with this move, but if Your Majesty really wants to 'come to court from all nations'... I am afraid that this speed is a bit too slow."

Liu Qi slowly put down the wine cup in his hand and stared at Lu Su with bright eyes.

When I was young, I heard Liu Qi say: "Zijing, actually I have asked you to come to Runan this time for another matter."

Lu Sudang stood up and said: "I don't have anything to say goodbye, but there are a lot of disciples at home. If Your Majesty needs it, I am willing to let them come to the front line to support Your Majesty in using troops... Of course, the other powerful people in Huairu

, Su is also willing to go there in person and persuade them to surrender their disciples to help His Majesty pacify Yuzhou!"

Liu Qi looked at Lu Su with some surprise: "Did Gong Jin tell you my purpose of looking for you?"

Lu Su shook his head calmly: "Gong Jin is His Majesty's minister, how could he reveal His Majesty's thoughts to outsiders at will? Even Su and Gong Jin would not... These are all speculations of the minister."

Liu Qi was happy: "You guessed it right... Runan is the territory I just occupied, but I haven't fully occupied it yet. Since Zijing has come, he has the right to temporarily handle Runan affairs for me on behalf of the Chief of Runan County."

, as for the position of county governor...if there is no suitable candidate, it will not be established for the time being."

This is very clear. Liu Qi made an exception and directly promoted Lu Su to be the county magistrate with six hundred stones, but in fact he did not establish two thousand stones. This clearly meant that he was appointed to the post of two thousand stones, but it was not made clear.

Just on face.

Lu Su was moved and immediately paid homage to the emperor.

…

After Lu Su left, Liu Qi stayed up all night, thinking about Lu Su's words over and over in his mind.

Have you been a little too conservative when it comes to dealing with Yuan Cao?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

It was not because of anything else, but because of his preconceived judgment about them, thinking that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were his formidable enemies, enemies that were extremely difficult to deal with, and people who could not be defeated quickly.

And all of this is based on my understanding of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in later generations.

Regarding people of this era, Liu Qi has some preconceptions about everyone because he is a time traveler.
